    Default Z Axis problem

    Hi -

    In my gcode I have the following

    F50
    G1 Z5.0
    G1 Z0.0
    Then continues with more junk......

    When it starts it goes to +5 and never takes Z down to ZERO. If I put -5 it goes to -5 and not ZERO. If I put 0.001 it goes to 4.XX9 or something... Not ZERO.


    Anyone here have any ideas I can try or what to do? Thanks KH

    Are you running in incremental (G91) mode or absolute (G90) mode?

    First you get good, then you get fast. Then grouchiness sets in.
